Now that the holidays are just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about gifts for those we love. In the spirit of making the holidays as blissful as possible, a gift guide is in order. What’s one gift that symbolizes emotion and love? Jewelry. In many different forms, the possibilities are endless when it comes to jewelry, watches and accessories as gifts.
But, where to begin when it comes to relationships and holiday giving? We’ve put together a guide of the greatest holiday gifts fit for any stage of a relationship.
For the new couple
When it comes to a new relationship, the beginning is always hard to navigate. The initial gift sets the tone for the rest of the gifting afterward. It’s important to pay close attention to your partner’s personal style. If they normally wear bold pieces, opt for a bold statement piece to add to their collection. If they wear more delicate pieces of jewelry, a bracelet or earrings are great options.
Fred Nasseri, local jewelry expert and owner of Unicorn Jewelry and Watch Boutique in Rancho Bernardo says, “If your partner is into leather accessories, a money clip, wallet or belt is a simple and classic choice.”
For the ready to wed
Now that you’ve found your match, it’s time to find the perfect ring, whether it’s vintage, classic or modern. Since a ring is a symbol of eternity, it is also a natural expression of never-ending love, so make sure your ring will last a lifetime. With options ranging from yellow to white gold or platinum, and diamonds or colored gemstones, it’s important to get a ring that is representative of your partner’s style and also your relationship.
The first step is to learn the five C’s: cut, clarity, color, carat and certificate. Take note of your partner’s personality and individual style. Pay attention to the little things like whether they prefer gold or silver, if they like simple, understated pieces or more flashy ones. After all, the engagement ring is the first chapter of the story that couples will create when they decide to spend their lives together.
For those who are ready to tie the knot, picking out the engagement ring can be a stressful process, but the end result will be far worth it. “When shopping for a ring or wedding band, it’s important to know how things can be customized to fit your taste, style and personality, as a symbol of your love. There is no reason that someone should settle for anything less than the ring of their dreams,” says Nasseri.
For the lasting lovers
For those who have been together for a while, a fancier gift is in order. This is the time to give the gift that your partner is going to remember and cherish for years to come. It could be the nice watch they’ve had their eye on or those silver cuff links they’ve been talking about for a while. Cuff links are an incredible choice for those who want to put the finishing touch on their ensemble, from business to evening wear. With such a large selection from silver to gold, diamonds and gemstones, cuff links are sure to dazzle. There is also a world of options when it comes to timepieces. Watches are beautiful, elegant and durable, so find the timepiece to make your partner’s wrist stand out among the crowd.
“At this point in a relationship, a matching jewelry set is a nice and classic touch for those couples who have given several gifts each holiday season. Tie it all together with cuff links that complement a watch, or a necklace and bracelet pair. Make them feel like they’re getting something like never before. Something they will keep forever,” Nasseri shares.
